The Ferry Landing.

Yesterday morning, the County Commits
sioners met at Portland Pier to take steps
towards laying out the ferry landing in ac-
cordance with the act passed by the last leg
islature. The act orders the Commissioners
to lay out public highway and ferry land
ing. There were present besides the Com
missioners, yesterday, Mayor Chapman,
City Solicitor Symonds, City Engineer Good
win, Capt. Spear of the new ferry
company. Hon. }. H. Drummond, Hon.
II. B. Cleaves and Mr.. Hartford, who
represented the ferry interests, Hon. W. w.
Thomas and Hon. George Bird, who APP
peared for the wharf proprietors, and many
of the AUDITORS doing business on the pier.
Two plans of the wharf property were plac-
ed in the hands of the commissioners; one
hearing in the case by Hon. IL. b. Cleayes,
and the other drafted by Mr. E. c. Jordan
for the Commissioners.
kThe length of the wharf, as stated in yes
terday's Press, is S04.32 feet OF this length
All feet is solid fill, and the rest piling. But
two buildings of prominence stand in the
way on either PLAN one of them is occupied
by A. M. Smith & Co.. and the other by
Lewis, Chase & Written, and the projected
highway will cut off about two-thirds of
each of these buildings. There is also a
small wooden building near the north end of
the wharf that may lose corner.
No arguments were made by the wharf
proprietors, or their counsel, nor were any
damages claimed. If any such claims are
made they will probably be presented at the
hearing tomorrow morning. The space re-
quired for the drop and length of the ferry
slip on both plans is about the same; 100
feet for the slip and 20 feet for the drop. On
the ferry owners plan the width of the Slip
at the mouth is As feet and on the plan made
for the Commissioners it is GA feet, and
seven feet at each end of the mouth is al
lowed for the spiling, so that when the ferry
boat enters the slip the spiIing and cushions
may have great strength and elasticity to re-
sist the shock of contact of boat and pier.

Within the past few years cooking schools
have been established in various parts of the
country, and this greatest of all arts-cook-
cry, is beginning to receive that attention
from house-keepers which it deserves.
Prominent among teachers Of cooking are
several persons whose names are as house
hold words, and whose teachings are widely
accepted as authority. We allude particu-
larly to Miss Parloa, Mrs. A. A. Geddes,
Miss Marion Harland and Mrs L. r. Parker,
all of whom have high reputation, and have
publicly recommended Prof. Horsford s
preparations.
Miss Parloa says that she has used Hors-
ford's Bread PREPARATION with perfect sue
cess.
Mrs. Geddes says she always gets good re-
suits.
Miss Harland says the Bread Preparation
deserves place in every household in the
land.
Mrs. Parker says it surpasses all other
baking powders.
All physicians declare it TO be healthful.
and necessity to the human economy.
The test of years. and the ever increasing
sales of the Bread Preparation, show that it
is known and appreciated of men, and the
first authorities in the land do not hesitate
to bestow upon it the highest econiums of
praise.
Prof. Horsford's Bread Preparation is for
sale by all dealers, and every package is war
ranted.

MURDERED BY PREJUDICE.


Thousands of men die every day who might be
saved. Prejudice has murdered many man and
woman. If it were believed that the sum of dis
ease would be reduced by physic much would be
gained. The nightmare of death would not
brighten us as tdoes. In our modern civilization
we ought reasonably to expect disease to settle
upon us because we do so much to attract it; be
cause we often and so steadily expose our
selves to 1t. At the same time we all ought to uu-
derstand, as part of our rudimentary education,
that to save ourselves from the effects Of such ex-
posture some kind of fertilization should be built
around our vital forces lest the enemy carry us, as
IL were, by sudden onslaught. For many years
the unprejudiced have used BRANDRETH's PILLS
In this way and they have proved most effective
wall against the approach of disease. Stop the
daily mllrders-we had almost said suicides by
using these Pills. They speak for themselves-as
they act. When everything else has failed BRAND.
RErH's PILLS have saved lives. They are to be
had at every drug store.
